Illinois Watch Co 1882_1883 Hunter Pocket Watch

Just purchased this at an estate sale. It is a beautiful watch, unfortunately it needs to have the hands replaced. The case is so unique I thought I would send in the photos.

Editors Note: Thanks for the photos Jim, as you say the case is particularly well embellished, unusual for an old pocket watch like this but maybe someone else may have a similar one out there that they have some further information about.
